Within BIM4Housing, we are establishing this Black Box culture, inviting people with deep understanding of individual asset types, the systems they form part of and the inter-relationship of systems, to join with other experts to better understand how we can mitigate (not eliminate) risks.

We’ve developed a knowledge-capture methodology whereby 20 or so experts contribute their experience and ideas on individual asset types and systems, followed by virtual Round Table workshops where they spend a couple of hours discussing and debating solutions that can make buildings safer and perform more effectively.

When L&Q/MHCLG formed the Golden Thread Initiative as a cross-disciplinary industry initiative to create guidance, I was asked to Chair the Asset and Survey Information Working Group. As a result, the outcomes of these BIM4Housing workshops are being fed back to the GTI Working Group.
